More about this memorial. It’s worth noting that this marker was in some sense ahead of its time. That is, most (or even all?) public schools in Paris have a black plaque memorializing the Jewish students who were deported and murdered by the Nazis during WWII. Most of those were installed after the year 2000, while this one was put up more than two decades earlier.

Overview: The Holocaust in France was the persecution, deportation, and annihilation of Jews(Submitted on February 2, 2024.)between 1940 and 1944 in occupied France, metropolitan Vichy France, and in Vichy-controlled French North Africa, during World War II. The persecution began in 1940, and culminated in deportations of Jews from France to Nazi concentration camps in Nazi Germany and Nazi-occupied Poland. The deportation started in 1942 and lasted until July 1944. Of the 340,000 Jews living in metropolitan/continental France in 1940, more than 75,000 were deported to death camps, where about 72,500 were murdered.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, August 23, 20232.
